I want to buy

Does anyone know of a good deal that i can get on a 1991 RX-7 turbo. I live in Ontario Canada so i would prefer that it be within the area.

LOL Dude!
You and so many others. Its almost impossible to find an S5 TII for sale in Ontario, or Canada for that matter. I'm not sure there are even that many 91's in Canada.

And if there is one, they are very pricey. The last one was $11500 I believe, and it was far from mint.

Forum member Cheers! waited 8 months to get his S5, and it is an 89.

Don't quote me on this, but A-Spec in Toronto seems to get S5's for sale now and then, but I think there is a waiting list.

Good luck!

Check the Canadian forum for this sort of question. Where abouts are you from? I'd recommend that you set your sights on a S4 (87 & 88) TII. Even they aren't easy to find.

hhmmmm, so it sounds like a turbo is out. Oh well. I have however found a pretty good deal on a 1991 N/A but i want your opinion on wether or not i should get it.

It has 80000km in mint condition with no modifications to the engine and has never been winter driven. Leather interior and fully loaded, all for $6,995(CND)

so let me know what you think.

Why's a Turbo out? I bought my TII for $4500 CDN new (used) engine and a bunch of other new stuff. Not that it's perfect, but I think you can get a good S4 turbo if you're a little paitent.

Keep an eye on www.autotrader.ca and the Canadian forum. Post some threads and people will help you out, just like Cheers. There's only one '87 TII on autotrader right now, but there have been several in the past few months.

You know how you selected to come to the 2nd gen (FC) forum? There's another forum further down the page under the heading "upcomming evens/regional forums," called "Canadian forum." One option is to get a cheap, high millage/blown engine TII and get a Jspec or rebuilt engine put in it (~$3000 for Jspec intalled). If you stick around for forum for a while I'll keep an eye out for TIIs for you.

Also, this is not the time to buy a sports car. Wait until the winter or the early spring before it gets warm again to search. You should have some good luck then. No later than the 2-4 usually if you want a good deal.
